Los Angeles Attorneys Explore the Impact of PAGA on Employers

10.17.19

In their bylined piece for the Daily Journal titled, “PAGA: The battle for employers continues,” Los Angles Partner Todd Scherwin and Associate Hannah Sweiss discuss the impact that the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) has had on California employers. Over the past 15 years, PAGA has proved highly controversial and its impact on employers continues to be significant.

Todd and Hannah explore the reasons many observers believe PAGA has not served its stated purpose, nor improved the working conditions of employees. They explain, “PAGA has taken a toll on thousands of California employers who have either been hit with a PAGA action or the threat of a PAGA action.” The article concludes by arguing that compliance is the most effective way an employer can fight the PAGA battle.
